Prevent and Recover from Ransomware

Email is the #1 Source of Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware—malware that encrypts important data and demands ransom in exchange for the decryption key—was the cause of 39 percent of malware-related data breaches in 2018*. Phishing and other social engineering emails are frequently used to distribute ransomware. Barracuda Essentials includes advanced threat detection to blocks these emails and Cloud Backup to quickly recover affected files and data.

Detect Ransomware Emails

Ransomware is a type of malware that lets attackers find and encrypt your most important data. They then offer to provide the decryption key only if you pay a ransom, within a short time. Forty-seven percent of businesses are affected, and most ransomware infections are delivered via email attachments. Ransomware is the number-one IT security challenge that you face today.

Fifty-nine percent of ransomware infections are delivered via email attachments and embedded URLs. Chances are your inbox already contains spear phishing and other malicious emails that can be used to launch a ransomware attack.

For additional protection against spear phishing and other “no-payload” email attacks, Barracuda Sentinel uses AI and machine learning to detect anomalies in communication patterns within your organization. This is especially useful to stop the spread of ransomware via internal email or from a compromised account.

A final layer of protection is the human layer. Ransomware emails can sometimes reach users through personal emails or other unprotected channels. Barracuda PhishLine ensures that users are trained to recognize and report suspicious emails.

Ensure Business Continuity with Fast Recovery from Ransomware

A successful ransomware attack can bring your operations to a sudden halt. To ensure business continuity when critical files become unavailable, you need an up-to-date backup of your data that you can restore as quickly as possible.

Essentials provides built-in Barracuda Cloud Backup. You get comprehensive, real-time backup of all your Office 365, Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint data and files. If criminals use ransomware to attempt to extort a ransom from you, simply delete the affected files, ensure you’re ransomware-free, and restore all your data from backup.
